Takamine please

I need your strongest potion!

You cannot handle my strongest potions. They are far too strong for you.

^Watch Claret’s demo and you’ll realize why people are chomping at the bit.

Takamine started to wake up and then rolled over and went back to sleep. This chapter was kinda frustrating because the only real plot movement was Takamine choosing stagnation. Don’t get me wrong, I like cute moments of them hanging out but don’t tease me with development and then shove it back in the closet.

So was Kon always the monster? Was there a real girl named Kon that the monster ate and is now using her form?

Can’t tell if the missing magical girls are mind controlled or there willingly.

We’re definitely past due for the next chapter right? We just got back into monthly too…

^It’s a warp trotter. Specifically that’s Numby, Topaz’s pet.

How is this the only Remielle on here so far? She flirts with Belle, she flirts with Belli, she flirts with Sunbringer. Her yuri potential is off the charts.

Two girlfriends for the price of one! They even switch!

^because she’s cute

INCEST INCEST INCEST INCEST

Let’s goooo! Now that the poly door is open let’s see how far this train can go.

I don't know how I forgot just how stacked Mashiro is.

This manga like to jumpscare you with Mashiro actually being really hot sometimes.

Poor Nanao continues just get flat out used by the scum that is Asumi

It’s entirely her own fault. She was the one who was too cowardly and set the terms of their relationship. Asumi is just doing what Nanao said she wanted.

Poor Nanao. In the end she played herself.

I think I slipped into another timeline because I remember this having a Dynasty comment section before…

Is it really exhibitionism when you’re in a private place and no one is around?

I'm being cynical, so warning for that.

A story about two girls being fine with their "disgusting" hobbies ended up with one of them basically sanitizing said hobby, and even having a typical manga ending of "doing my hobby... competitively!!" which is, y'know, very japanese but it definitely seems to bypass any emotional motivations she might have had for that. (a hobby that began as a very personal thing...Do you really want to put it out there for anyone to see, and if so, why? Questions like this weren't even considered.)

This story had a girl with a repulsion for sex that was so bad she spent almost the entirety of the manga convinced she was in the right for hurting a girl who loved her. In the end, she explains her trauma in the most matter-of-fact way, just telling us what we already know, almost like instead of processing it she's just... giving us the notes the mangaka had written about her when she had to sent this story to her editor's. Again, we aren't really privy to the emotional developments that led to her being okay with sex all of the sudden.

This story spent most of its runtime developing the relationship of two people, Remu and Azuki, who were way too compatible. They had sexually intimate scenes together. In the end, Azuki ends up with her ex-gf. Why? Because it is much more neat that way. LIke this, no one has to face any "awkwardness": Meguru doesn't have to face her little sister be with the person who she fumbled. Azuki doesn't have to grow out of her unhealthy attachment to a girl who she doesn't even know that well, and Remu... well, she was already a paper-thin character, so this way the story doesn't have to consider her inner world as a thing that might exist.

Look, I'm a self-described degenerate. Not in the sense that I'm any more of a pervert than anyone else, but moreso that I embrace that perversion. "Perversion", "deviation", "degeneration" these are just words that point to being outside the norm in ways that are socially damning, but I think people having such fixations is wonderful, since it allows for people to think and experience life in novel ways (not to mention, these are words usually used by fascist and authoritarian regimes to designate those they don't like). There's a quote out there by famous anime director Tomino Yoshiyuki about how you can only be a good animator if you're a pervert, and I agree; I think that goes for making manga, too. And this author isn't a pervert at all. I just think they liked the aesthetics of perversion. It managed to completely fool me into thinking that this would be an interesting work, but I am saddened by the flaccidity in which it has decided to finish. It definitely lacked the courage to engorge itself and revel in its perverted potential.

All in all, this series was a dissapointment and I hate that I wasted time of my life following it.

You articulated this well. I think she sheer amount of time spent with Azuki and Remu makes this ending feel weird. The idea that Azuki would get over Meguru with this new relationship makes sense. The manga also made it pretty clear Remu was catching feelings for Azuki and they just…kinda dropped it.

^Her trust events even lean into it where her tentacles have a mind of their own and act on Hari's subconscious feelings and they just like Belle.

Aglaea finally gets to kiss her childhood crush (Hysilens)

The unique fragrance of the sea…

Aria would ask for motor oil, though.

It’s amazing how many people see tags as invitation to come and complain rather than telling them what’s exactly in the box so they don’t read something they don’t want to. These people don’t use tags to help them to decide what to read, they use them as a roadmap to go and find places to complain, moralize and preach.

Ah yes let's post people's faces all over the internet and ruin the privacy they requested. Possibly leading to harassment and so on. I once again vote that we chuck the streamer into a volcano, she sucks and so far is just a bad addition to the series imo.

Counterpoint: this series is supposed to be about scumbags and the current cast isn’t that scummy anymore.

^Xiao'Guang is, as far as I know, 100% the same between Belle and Wise with zero dialogue changes other than using the proper gender pronouns for each. She comes off as extremely lovey dovey with whichever proxy you pick, much like Vivian. Differences between the two proxy's events are very minor but there have been a few. Most notable ones are Wise pretending to be Miyabi's fiance in her second affinity event while Belle says "she's marrying into the family." Her dad talks about adopting you no matter which proxy you pick though. Another difference is in Caesar's movie date event when you call it a date as Belle she kind of laughs and goes "yeah" whereas with Wise she gets flustered. I believe Astra has one different line in her movie date too, though I still feel like she's plenty flirty with Belle in that event as well.

I'm not ready for this to end T~T

Is that happening? I don’t remember hearing that.

I’m gonna miss Fallen Medic. It’s weird to say, but I don’t think it was around long enough. I know it’s been two years irl but in terms of chapters it’s not that old.
